54 Organizations urge Massachusetts Secretary of State to Ensure ALL Eligible Voters Can Cast Ballots
Over 50 organizations urged Secretary of State William Galvin to protect the right to vote for eligible voters who are incarcerated in Massachusetts. Their letter describes a system of de-facto disenfranchisement in which eligible voters are functionally barred from participating in elections. “That these citizens have access to the ballot is a fundamental democracy issue,” the letter states. “The right to vote maintained on paper must not be denied in practice to thousands of citizens.”
